SLAX should fit the requirements pretty well, its fast, very small in size and customisable. It can be found at www.slax.org . But yes, nearly any live cd will work for you...

If you need very good hardware detection, then look at Knoppix or Kanotix. They will not work as fast as SLAX, but come with a greater set of features out of the box. You can find a list of more popular live cd's here.

I guess, no Live distro beats Knoppix/Gnoppix. I have both the distros and am in Mumbai. You can contact me if you wish for a copy.
